[QUOTE="S21, post: 94401, member: 18621"] Hi, all! First time poster (but long time lurker who had no idea where else to go with this). I am currently working at an in-house legal department and have, within a few months been presented with the opportunity of having the LPC/SQE funded, dependant on preference. This is not something I expected at all at interview or even when starting the role. At the time there was positive discussions of what previous people in the role had moved onto after the experience gained. While I am grateful for the opportunity, there is the expectation that one would naturally stay on as a solicitor in the department. And even if there were not an expectation, I know that I would feel obligation to do so. My issue is that this is not an area of Law that I want to practice (evidenced my daily stalking of this forum hah), and I don't know how to articulate that without burning bridges or making it awkward in a close-knit, happy team. I would appreciate any advice you could offer. [/QUOTE]
